John Paczkowski called it back on August 1, reporting that the event would be in October, not September, as is usual for Apple’s fall event. Now he’s saying Tuesday 4 October, specifically. Sounds right.

As for what is going to be announced, the bottom line is that Apple has effectively kept everyone in the dark. A5 processor, better camera, duh. But other than that, no one knows shit. The iPhone 4 might have been a complete surprise, too, if not for the lost-in-a-bar prototype.
